Hi all,
I have a 2.5 year old who will not stay in her bed, please give me some tips/advice on how to help this before I loose my sanity!
Dd has always been amazing at bedtime/sleeping, she's always had bath bottle book bed, settled herself to sleep fine and had slept through for a long time... about a month before isolation we decided to move her into a "big girl bed" as she was so good and felt it was time to, she did amazingly with only a couple of times getting out trying to refuse bedtime.
However since isolation bed time has become a nightmare, she won't stay in her bed and is pushing sleep until around 9pm every night getting in and out, she's then waking up in the night wanting cuddles/back tickles
I'm sticking to her nursery routine as much as possible and doing my best to burn her energy with a small yard, she's eating ok, although I struggle with main meals she's snacking constantly through the day on hummus, sandwiches, fruit, fish fingers etc.
I've tried everything, she seems to be struggling with missing people like her nana etc so we've spoken lots about that and I'm giving her a lot more extra love attention and cuddles, but it doesn't seem to be working
Any tips on helping keep her in her bed/getting her to sleep at bedtime would be much appreciated! She's not getting enough sleep at night which is then making her irritable during the day
Thank you & I hope everyone is safe and well! ❤️
